This Review discusses the most common causes of chronic cough, the clinical features of GER-related cough and the usefulness of an empiric therapy trial to identify and treat these patients. The authors also consider how to proceed when patients do not improve with an empiric therapy trial. Clinical outcomes, long-term GER therapy and potential pitfalls of the treatment of GER-related cough are also covered.
